Biography
Concepts
My sculptures are made out of glass, stone, metal and sometimes wood. these materials unite in their strength and fragility to create a delicate balance. Since a couple of years I am working at a series of 'Immaterial Figures'.
Influences
Being eighteen and studying French for some weeks at Paris, I discovered the musee Rodin. Rodin's work with its strength and passion inspired me and since eighteen years I am able to make sculptures.
